VOLBEAT’s MICHAEL POULSEN Has Reissued All His Old Death Metal Band DOMINUS’ Albums

Way before Michael Poulsen was fronting Volbeat, he had a pretty great death metal band called Dominus. Dominus released four albums – View To The Dim in 1994, The First 9 in 1996, Vol. Beat in 1997, and Godfallos in 2000 – all of which have been become pretty rare over time.

Now all four albums have received a remaster by Adam Boose at Cauliflower Audio, and are finally available on all streaming services. And they hold up pretty well! Which isn’t shocking, given Poulsen‘s love of death metal both back then and now with his new band Asinhell.

On the Dominus reissues (which are so far strictly digital), Poulsen said: “Some of you might know that back in the days I had a death metal band called Dominus. We released a couple of demos, I believe, 30 years ago and a seven-inch vinyl, and we did have four albums out. But that was from a time with no Internet and social medias and all that [crap]. That was street credibility, street work, exchanging flyers, demos, cassette tapes and supporting underground magazines.

“I truly miss those days. But listen, those recordings will now be available on your favorite streaming service, whatever that is. And hopefully the next plan will be to release those things on vinyl, something I personally would love to do. Back in the days, it was only out on CD, and, as I said, personally I’d like to change that and make them available on vinyl.

“But that’s another story — it’ll come later. For now, you can get them on those streaming services that you use. Dominus, support it. Have a good day. See you soon.”
